TestQ Forum FAQs



Why did my post get edited?



Odds are you were personally attacking someone or using hurtful language (though you might just have been quoting that language). It’s also possible that you cut-and-pasted the same post in a bunch of threads and we’re cleaning the forum up.



I disagree with your moderation! How should I tell you?



Please talk to me if you have a problem with moderation, just do it in a personal message and not in a thread. Arguments about moderation are boring for other people to read.



So how am I supposed to disagree with someone without personally attacking them?



I’m glad you asked! We welcome disagreement and argument here on TestQ, but we frown on personal attacks. Here’s a handy chart about how to disagree with someone on the internet without getting personal:



“I think what you said is wrong and I’ve thought about it and here are several reasons why not.” = Very good!



“I think what you said is wrong.” = Okay



“You’re wrong.” = Enh, okay



“You’re stupid.” = Pretty lame



“ur so stupid and gay and retarded and i hate u!!!!!!11!” = Bad, Might Get Edited



[a bunch of personal attacks and bad language and threats] = Very Bad, A Ticket to Warningtown and possibly Bannedsville



Why did you tell me to stop personally attacking someone? Why didn’t you tell them too? They started it! Why are you playing favorites?



This one you’re going to have to think about for a second.  You were told to stop in a personal message, right? Well then, it’s just possible that the other person was also told to stop in a personal message, and since you can’t read their messages, you didn’t know about it. Don’t worry, we’re certainly not playing favorites, we just want the name-calling to stop.



I really want to go into a topic that’s about how great a certain singer (or band or book or whatever) is and tell them all how much that singer (or band or book or whatever) sucks! Yeah! I’ll show them! Should I?



No. That’s called “trolling,” and is frowned upon. There’s probably a group somewhere on TestQ about how much that singer (or band or book or whatever) sucks, and you should go post there. If you feel you absolutely must state your case to the fans, prepare to get attacked and possibly moderated, as well you should be.



Somebody’s being mean to me on the forum! What should I do?



Send me a personal message with a link to the thread or threads in question and I’ll take care of it. Remember, though, that the best thing to do is just to ignore the person. They probably just want attention and if you stop giving it to them they’ll go away.



This person is sending me hateful and threatening personal messages! What should I do?



First you should be very clear in asking the person to stop and you should stop responding to their messages. If they keep harassing you, forward the messages to me and I will take care of it.



Hey, I want to tell TestQ about this amazing product or service! How should I do it?
